I'd hope that row-level access control will get back in, once the core feature has landed.

Any kind of multi-customer database can benefit from that. Last year I had to tell a customer that converting his single-client database solution to multi-client wasn't possible without major redesign. With row-level access control I'd have been able to make them happy (and me too, by billing them for a month or so of work ;-) ).
